This month our Guest Designer is Anneliese Bates and we are all really excited to see the marvellous creations that she will bring to this blog.

The team has been busy making samples for the challenge for you to see:

Sioux has really explored the versatility of the Core-dinations cardstock and made a fabby little matchbox. She used a Texture Fade to get some embossing onto the cardstock and added Distress Ink to this to age it. A Hitch Fastener makes a fabulous drawer pull and... inside the box there is a little treasure too... see Sioux's blog to find out what it is :O))
